i like the gold, or do a silver/polished engine bay look, and have ur engine all polished up completely then make the VC black to match ur car.

I started working on the bay today... I plan on painting the motor silver, using scotch brite to clean up the header for now, later I will heat wrap it... and I am going to paint the valve cover black, anybody have any suggestions???

you should work with a bit of color. especially if you have a black car. I personally would use green ... takata green valve cover, the engine bay perhaps in the really dark purple...

as a suggestion of my engine bay:





maybe this will help you

I would go back to a black bay. And then do a red or maybe even a gold valve cover and then get some gold PWJDM fender washers. But dont go to crazy on them. I would say just on the fenders to accent the black.

that wouldnt be a bad idea if all of my fender washers werent already black... the only thing left on my car gold are the wheels,,, and since i have the asr brace, and function form lcs's i thought about just polishing the wheels out... just to tie all that together... its up in the air right now... i may strip the wheels and polish them.. and if I want the gold back, its only a trip to the paint store for more paint...

the hood is nasty as f*ck! i think sticker-bombing your mirrors or the front lip would look sick too.
any other plans for it?
